Momentum Upstart, thoughts?

Hi there,

Considering purchasing this bike as my first e-bike.

Has anyone tested out this one?
Any thoughts on the specs?

I met a guy with one of these last month. His view: it's OK if you only need a runabout, that's what he uses the bike for. He did not like the limited gears.
Otherwise the bike is light, very easy to cycle unassisted.
I reckon it's good for London, does not attract vandals but small battery, no suspension. I was also surprised to see that his bike looked quite scruffy, he bought it only last summer.
